The Revolving Restaurant - O Bar

The revolution takes about two and a half hours a circle so arrive earlier before sunset to get the best views.

In addition, the bar has excellent service and offering all kinds of drinks and foods. All foods are delicate like some arts, whether they are appetizers, main courses or desserts. The restaurant has the same views but the menu and policies are somewhat bizarre. The menu states that each person in the party must order two dishes, one from the main course section and one from either appetizers or desserts. In any event, the food is good enough to eat and if you can afford it because it is quite expensive. However, people can stay in the bar, have something to drink, some finger foods, and avoid the overpriced restaurant. The views are the same, the service is great, and the prices are far more reasonable than in the restaurant.
